Commenting on the grant, founder Hari Kiran said “We are constantly focussed on balancing our efforts in preserving, protecting and promoting our civilisational thought and this grant is an effort at preservation. We are extremely pleased to support Mohit Bhardwaj in his endeavours to establish a veda pathashala in India, organise Vakyartha sadas as well as organise camps in the US. We had helped him in the initial phase of establishing the Veda Pathashala with a grant and also raised further resources from others through the efforts of our activist network. This grant is a continuation of our conviction of his sincerity to revive certain rituals and practices. In particular a part of the grant is carved out for reviving the tradition of Vakyartha Sadas in North India. Indic Academy is at the forefront of reviving this unique debating tradition having held/help organise 9 such events earlier, including the first ever International Vakyartha Sadas at Varanasi in April 2019. We wish Mohit all the very best in his endeavours and look forward to a continued engagement with him. We also wish to thank Ms Neha Srivastava and  Sri Vikram Tikoo for their efforts in facilitating this grant”.
